Freedom's Demise

This Pentecost, it's time to reflect on how much we have lost over the past 25 years...

2023 is not even halfway over, and it has become yet another Annus Horribilis. To be fair, 2023 went off to a bad start when Sim Wong Hoo, the creator of Sound Blaster, died in the early days of 2023. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Cyberattacks are nothing new. But in recent years, they have been merciless to YouTube accounts, including dormant ones. If that is not enough, Internet Archive being found guilty of copyright infringement, as well as Nintendo, Square Enix and Toei going after alleged acts of intellectual property theft have to be the poisonous fruits of Japan's anti-terrorism law and the European Union Copyright Directive. Even worse still has to be the proposed purges of inactive accounts by Google and Twitter. But all of these are nothing compared to the debt bombs America and China are sitting on, which in turn will be dwarfed by natural disasters becoming more frequent, and dictatorial warmongers becoming more belligerent. All of these are merely signs that the Great Tribulation is near, and there will be nothing like it because it will lead to the final showdown in a battleground north of Jerusalem. One that will determine the fate of the Earth...

Internet History In Peril

Author's Note: If there is any chance for us to force the bigwigs at Big Tech to backpedal on any bad decisions that they will regret many years later, it's now.

Let's face it. Big Tech is starting to turn against the customers that made them who they are today. Judging by the way the top levels of management in Google, Facebook and Twitter are doing their job, Internet History is being endangered. Even preserving old Internet content is becoming more difficult due to copyright issues. Sooner or later, the day will come when God's message becomes illegal to the point that anyone who preaches the true Gospel on the Internet will be considered a cybercriminal.

However, to wage war against history will be a fatal mistake that will prove the likes of George Santayana and Winston Churchill correct. But the leftists do not care about the warnings from these two men because the leftists just do not like any history, be it five years ago, or ten, or a hundred, or even five hundred years ago. And don't even get started on the years before the birth of Jesus Christ, because our world is not God's territory yet. Simply put it, our fallen world is going back to the days of Noah, and this time, God will have to take even more drastic measures than just flooding the Earth. God will have to unleash devastation on a massive scale to force humanity to turn away from their wickedness. Yet they will not repent, but wage war against Christ's Second Coming, which will end in Jesus emerging victorious over the fools that oppose him. Only then will the leftists' war on history finally cease, and what's left of the old history will not be purged, but become reminders of an age of madness that was cut short by divine intervention.

Variations of a Justin Bailey Leotard

Fun Fact: Getting the second best ending in either the Famicom Disk System version or Nintendo Entertainment System version of Metroid, and then pressing start at the end of the credits will start a new game with Samus in Justin Bailey mode without using the Justin Bailey password.

Remember when I made a comic about NES/FDS Metroid Samus in a bikini? Well, the second best ending revolves around Samus in a leotard when in Justin Bailey mode, and a gymnasium would be a better background than the surface of Zebes.

The first image is obvious. The second is a reference to the leotard worn by Samus in the Nintendo Comics System stories, most notably Captain N: The Game Master. The third is based on the colour of her Zero Suit, while the fourth is a reference to the creamed spinach colour of the original Game Boy's screen. The fifth image is based on the leotard worn by Rosalina in Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and the sixth is based on Sakura Kinomoto's Red Cape Costume, in which one of the main features of the costume is a blue leotard. The last two images are based on the flag-themed leotards worn by female gymnasts in gymnastics competitions, in this case, the flags of France and Netherlands are represented in this comic.

Stab The Jerk 2

Swords stabbing Blue/Gary, from left to right, starting with the top row: Maple Glory Sword (MapleStory), Lionheart (MapleStory), Valis Sword (Valis), Gradriel's Sword (Princess Crown), Dragon Slayer (Berserk), Dark Repulser (Sword Art Online).

Even if Gary is wearing a black shirt in Pokemon Journeys, making him similar to his twin brother Blue, he should still perish along with his twin brother for all the wrongs they did to Red and Ash, because I still believe that Red and Ash should have justice, and if Red and Ash were Zainichi Koreans, the demand for justice will be greater, even if over half of Zainichi Koreans are known to be communist sympathizers.

The King of (Pre-Famicom) Kong

If there is any home console the Famicom and the NES had to owe their creation and success to, it's the ColecoVision. In fact, the ColecoVision version of Nintendo's Donkey Kong was the first home console version of the arcade game that transformed Nintendo into the video game industry powerhouse it is today, thanks to the ColecoVision version of Donkey Kong being a pack-in game that came with the ColecoVision, which obviously cemented Donkey Kong's place as the best-selling ColecoVision title.

Sadly, Coleco exited video games in 1985 amid the Video Game Crash of 1983, and eventually closed shop in 1989. Their legacy, however, was that the ColecoVision influenced the design of Nintendo's Famicom and NES consoles, which may have been the reason behind their runaway success. For a short-lived console like the ColecoVision to leave behind a long legacy is incredible indeed. A legacy that became a footnote in Nintendo's history.

V-E Day

There used to be a time when Victory in Europe Day (V-E Day) was a day of rejoicing for the countries that won World War 2 in the European Front. Unfortunately, Russia, who usually organizes military parades to commemorate V-E Day, has invaded Ukraine, effectively eliminating years of friendship building between Russia and the Anglosphere.

From the losers' perspective, V-E Day should be remembered as the day Germany and Italy were freed from the tyrannical warmongers that started World War 2. Unfortunately, Germany in recent years had been behaving less like the democracy that they were supposed to be on paper, while Italy elected a right-wing parliament into power last year. It's only a matter of time before a tyrant more nefarious than the masterminds behind World War 2 plunges Earth into a catastrophic World War by going on a warpath against everybody, including rogue dictators, and quite possibly, declare war on the King of Kings.

With all that said, V-E Day has officially all but lost its meaning. However, we must look forward to the day when the Evil One is kicked out of his throne forever and locked up in the bottomless pit for 1000 years. Then Germany, Italy and Russia will finally be free from the dictators and tyrants that have instigated terrible wars. How's that for a golden ending?

The Rise of King Charles the Third

Today is the day of King Charles III's coronation. He will be sitting on the throne of England, and by extension, the United Kingdom since taking over from his late mother Queen Elizabeth II after her death last year. His coronation, however will take place in a time when Britain no longer possesses an empire. Talk about once possessing an empire on which the sun never sets...

Here's hoping that Charles III is a good king, and perhaps a true servant of the British people.
